2 TBUS-201 - Getting Started
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
• Review the contents of this user manual
• Use Kramer high-performance high-resolution cables
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date
user manuals, a complete list of Kramer wall plates and module
connectors, application programs, and to check if firmware
upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
• Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration
in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
• Position your Kramer TBUS-201 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
Do not place heavy objects on top of the TBUS-201.

3 Overview
The TBUS-201 is a furniture-mounted pop-up connection bus that is easily
installed into a table or podium top. The TBUS-201 interface enables you to
connect any equipment to systems installed in a room via the following pass-
through connectors:
• 1 PC on a 15-pin HD connector
• 1 HDMI connector
• 1 stereo audio on a 3.5mm connector
• 1 Ethernet RJ-45 connector
When not in use, you can lower the TBUS-201 flush into the table. The example in
Figure 1 shows the TBUS-201 in a table or podium top with a universal power
socket.
Figure 1: TBUS-201 Pop-up Table Connection Bus
In addition, the TBUS-201 is:
• Easily opened and closed by pressing down gently on the lid due to its tilting
angular construction, pneumatic lift and mechanical latching mechanism. It
can be raised (when in use) or lowered (when not in use)
• Suitable for any of the following power sockets: for the USA, the UK,
Germany (the Europlug), Belgium-France, Switzerland, Italy, Australia,
Brazil, Israel, South Africa or “Universal” for use anywhere (see compatibility
restrictions in
Section 4.2
Order the power sockets separately from Kramer Electronics
)
4 TBUS-201 - Overview
3.1 About HDMI—General Description
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital audio/video
interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema industry. HDMI
ensures an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog
interfaces and their unnecessary digital-to-analog conversions. It delivers the maximum
high-definition image and sound quality in use today. Note that Kramer Electronics
Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered
trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.
In particular, HDMI:
• Provides a simple interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-
top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital flat
LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy cable
SIMPLICITY - With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the
cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in A/V systems is
reduced
LENGTHY CABLE - HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable
construction at up to 15m
• Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel digital
audio on a single cable
MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO - HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from
standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to support
Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats
• Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,
with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and
requirements
• Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video quality
via a single cable, and user-friendly connector
HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting
uncompressed video formats in a simple, cost-effective manner
• Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
• Supports CEC, two-way communication between the video source (such as a
DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as
automatic configuration and one-button play
• Has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats (720p,
1080i, and 1080p, 2K and 4K), standard definition formats such as NTSC or
PAL, as well as 480p and 576p

8 TBUS-201 - Installing the TBUS-201
5 Installing the TBUS-201
To install the TBUS-201 perform the following steps:
1. Cut an opening in the table (see
Section 5.1
2. Install the power socket (see
).
Section 5.2
3. Insert the TBUS-201 through the cut-out opening (see
).
Section 5.3
4. Connect the cables (see
).
Section 5.4
5.1 Cutting an Opening
).
The cardboard cutout template (supplied) defines the surface you have to cut out
to install your TBUS-201.
The thickness of the table should be 3in (76mm) or less.
Before cutting the opening, confirm the dimensions of the cutout template and
make sure that they have not changed.
Mark the area to cut and then cut out the relevant part of the wooden surface in
which you want to insert the TBUS-201.
Take care not to damage the table. Kramer Electronics is not
responsible for any damage caused to the table.

5.2 Installing the Power Socket
Figure 4 shows an example of the Universal power socket housing which is one of
the optional power sockets for the TBUS-201, see
Section 4.2 .
Figure 4: TBUS-201 Universal Power Socket Housing
To install the power socket:
1. Close the TBUS-201 lid.
2. Carefully insert the power socket housing so that the power socket fits into
the power socket opening on the connecting surface and the four standoffs
fit the four screw holes on the TBUS-201.
When positioned correctly, the IEC socket faces downwards.
3. Screw the four screws included in the power socket kit into the designated
holes to fix the power socket housing in place (see
Figure 5).
Figure 5: Power socket installed
4. Unscrew the power connector lock.

5. Connect the IEC power cord to the IEC socket.
6. Insert the power cord into the power connector lock and tighten the screw
(see
Figure 2, item 12) to secure the power cable.
5.3 Inserting the TBUS-201 through the Cut-Out Opening
To install the TBUS-201, do the following:
1. Carefully insert the unit into the prepared opening.
2. Take the support brackets under the table and place them into the support
bracket grooves at the desired height (on both the front and rear sides of the
unit).
3. Make sure that the upper outer rim is situated parallel to the edge of the
table.
4. Insert the table securing screw through the holes in the support brackets and
tighten them until they reach the table surface (from underneath).
5.4 Connecting the Cables
1. Connect the appropriate cables from underneath.
2. Secure the cables.
Do not keep the cord too tight or too loose.
Once you have connected the unit to the mains power and connected the proper
cables, you may use the unit.
